Please follow our unit in order. Let me know if you have any questions!

LESSON ONE

1. After reading "Finding Your Roots," go to the following link and listen to the story (you will need iTunes).

Going Back to the Roots


2. When you are finished listening to the story, enter our chat room at Chatzy and discuss your reaction to the story. I will be moderating so please no texting shorthand! :)

Homework: Take this brief survey so that I may get to know your situation a bit better.

Family Tree Survey


BatchelderFam.jpg
The Batchelder Family left a legacy in Sanford. Their descendants have done an extensive family tree and discovered that William (back row on the left) was Treasurer of the Goodall Mills for many years. He was one of the most trusted people in Sanford. He also founded Batchelder Brothers Insurance with his brother George (far right).


LESSON TWO

1. Filling out your Pedigree Chart. Using the chart supplied to you here:



You are #1 (literally and figuratively). On the bottom of the pdf form, I have put a guide to show you how to fill out the boxes.

Please note the format. Note than males go on the upper boxes and females on the lower. This will take you most of the evening.

Everyone in this photo is a descendant of one couple. (Can you find me?) How many relatives do you have?



LESSON THREE

1. Open up either your Digg or Delicious account.

2. Using my website, go to the Genealogy Links section. Bookmark the links that you find useful as well as any future ones you may discover (and share them with the class)!

Louis Hebert - The first successful European colonist in the New World (and a direct ancestor of Mr. Auger). Have you found any interesting relatives? The more you look, the more you'll find!


LESSON FOUR

1. Create an example of someone you found in your tree through the Internet. Use Screencast-o-matic to share it with the class. If you would like to go to Rm. 2 or 211 to do this, just ask. This must be accomplished during class. We will be doing presentations tomorrow. You only need to show how you found one relative.

How do you think this fellow looks? Some people think his sideburns look silly. They weren't... in 1880. They were actually "cool." Many of your ancestors may not look cool but they were very much like yourselves: trying to look fashionable.


LESSON FIVE

1. Turn in your pedigree chart.

2. Write at least five paragraphs in your Wikispaces account. Please use the Essay Rubric as a guide.
